Few neurosurgeons work less than 50-60 hours a week (80+ is not at all unusual), practically all of them complain about lack of time with family (high divorce rate), and hobbies are usually flexible ones (e.g. if you run, better run around a track when you're on call).
Neurosurgery has one of the longest educational paths of any medical specialty. A neurosurgery residency lasts six or seven years, according to a 2008 article in âAANS Neurosurgeon in Action.â Some neurosurgeons go on for fellowships, which are extended periods of training in subspecialties. Neurosurgeons must also be licensed and are typically board certified. Physicians who graduated in 2013 owed an average of $169,901 in student loans. If you decide to become a neurosurgeon in your 50s, you must consider how you would repay what you owe and whether you would be physically up to the challenge.
